Fenerbahce will welcome Monaco for game four of their EuroLeague round one playoff series. They lead 2-1 and will advance to the final four with victory here. Fenerbahce won game three 89-78 in mid-week. They had split the first two games in Monaco. Sarunas Jasikevicius’ men are hoping to do a better job of protecting home court than their opponents. Fener, who finished the regular season with a 15-2 home record, haven’t lost at home to Monaco in the last four matchups. Five players scored in double figures in game three with Tariq Biberovic leading the way with 14. Tyler Dorsey, who is averaging 15.3 points in the playoffs, is Fener’s leading scorer in the postseason. He however had a subpar game three and only tallied nine points.

Monaco are seeking to keep their European season alive as a defeat here will mean elimination. Sasa Obradovic’s men tied this series at 1-1 in game two at home thanks to a 93-88 victory. They were however unable to build on this in game two as their away struggles against Fener continued. Monaco imploded in game one and lost in OT. They had led for the majority of the game and at one point had a 14-point lead. The French side were one of the high-flying teams during the regular season. They finished third with a 23-11 record which was three games clear of Fener who finished sixth. Mike James led the team in points during the regular season but this hasn’t been the case in the playoffs. He is putting up 11.7 points a night on average in this series which is seven points fewer of his regular season average. Alpha Diallo is averaging 13.7 points in this series and tallied 23 points in game three. John Brown missed game three with an injury and is questionable for this trip. Monaco are averaging 87.3 points in this series and are shooting 29.3% from the field.
